A hidden world of magic lurks in the shadows of history. Nora is gunning for a promotion at The Chicago Field Museum. The discovery of two ancient Greek weapons unlike any she’s seen before might be her big break—but the artifacts are more than they seem, and the secrets they hold could upend Nora’s world completely. Trying to uncover their history, Nora enlists the help of professor of ancient languages, Dr. Adam Scott, an undeniably handsome man of intrigue. Nora finds herself drawn to the professor, who seems to be overflowing with charm—and secrets. Trying to uncover what he’s hiding, Nora discovers that Adam is actually an immortal sorcerer and a member of a secret society that has been in hiding since the days of the Greek Empire. When Nora’s work draws the attention of the Shadow, a powerful force that feeds off fear and negative emotions, she finds herself thrust into a perilous world of myths and monsters. Complicating things further is her undeniable desire for Adam and the feeling that he may be concealing more than his status as an immortal sorcerer. Now it’s not just Nora’s job on the line as she races to uncover the mysteries of the past—it’s her life. This book was previously published under the title Spears and Shadows. This new version has significant additions and has been freshly edited to provide an expanded story and enhanced reading experience.

I've been reading fantasy novels since I was a little girl stealing books from my older sister’s shelves, and that has developed into a love of writing and storytelling. My writing is currently focused on fantasy and paranormal romance. When I'm not sitting in a local coffee shop writing and consuming an iced americano, I am a nurse working towards a PhD in nursing with a focus on breast cancer genetics. Though born and raised in the Chicago area, I live in Pittsburgh with my loving husband and our two cats, who enjoy contributing to my work by walking across my keyboard at inopportune moments (the cats, not the husband).
